Purchase costs
On the new-build market my fee is paid by the developer, so you pay no commission. The apartment costs the same whether you buy directly from the developer or through me. The difference lies in what comes on top of the price.
Approximate amounts. You will receive a precise breakdown for your price along with the proposals.
Step by step
30 minutes to understand your goal. Budget, timeframe and how you want to use the apartment.
I only send the ones that truly match your expectations. Each one comes with a full cost breakdown, so you know exactly what you'll pay.
3–4 days, we travel together. Everything is ready when you arrive: I show you the areas that suit you and the apartments we've shortlisted beforehand. You view them and decide.
I take care of all the paperwork for you. You sign a power of attorney and I handle the rest: NIE, bank account, contracts, notary and handover. You don't need to worry about a thing.
Each of these places is different: one is lively all year round, another empties out in winter. In our first conversation, I'll tell you which one suits your goal.
Who will look after you
I live on the Costa Blanca, and my Aria Spain office is in Alicante. I write about life and property in Spain for Forbes. I invest myself too, so I look at every property as if it were my own money.
I'm based locally and always at your disposal. Before you reserve anything, every listing undergoes a legal audit. After the purchase I continue to help: with utilities, taxes and letting, if you want the apartment to earn money.

Questions
Money and costs
The same as buying directly from the developer. My fee is covered by the developer. Your NIE, bank account and translations are included in the price, as is a lawyer for purchases from EUR 350,000.
Yes. In Spain, every payment towards a build must be secured by a bank guarantee or an insurance policy – if the developer fails to build, your money is returned to you. Before you reserve anything, a lawyer checks the developer and the contracts, and you receive the report in Polish.
Around 12%: tax, notary and registration fees. Every buyer pays these, with or without an agency. I mention this in our first conversation, and you receive a precise breakdown for your price along with the proposals. You can also work it out yourself using the calculator.
Usually, yes. Spanish banks also lend to buyers from Poland – you don't need to live or work here. We'll check the terms during our call, before you reserve anything.
How it works
No. We speak Polish, and you receive every contract and document translated into Polish before you sign anything.
You come over to view the apartments. Everything else can be handled via a power of attorney signed before a notary – I then take care of the formalities locally, and you receive everything translated into Polish.
From a month and a half for a completed apartment to two or three years if you buy off-plan. Very little of that is your time: a conversation, a few days of viewings and collecting the keys.
That's the most common starting point. Select “Not sure yet” in the quiz – I'll compare the regions and real costs for you before you start browsing hundreds of listings.
Prefer to ask everything at once?That's what the free consultation with me is for, in Polish.
